Why did Wepl make WHDLoad...?
I was wondering why he made it and where the idea came from...?
Can someone move this to project.WHDLoad please, silly me.. posted this in the wrong place. Last edited by spannernick; 06 November 2021 at 22:42. |

maybe only Wepl can answer this?
My guess is that he was tired of trying to use broken Mars bar cracked HD loaders that didn't work and wanted to properly support originals. |

Cool thanks..
I can see why, I remember before WHDLoad, how much problems I had running Pinball Dreams cause of some of the disks I had of it where damaged and would almost load or load and then would not load a table, I think that was 1996. Last edited by spannernick; 06 November 2021 at 23:55. |

I spent 2 weeks in 1996 (or was it in 1997?) creating a HD install for pinball dreams from original disks. It didn't use whdload nor JST but a HD emulation code I had written (that later became the core part of JST)

Whatever his reason it’s a fantastic tool no doubt. It mustn’t be underestimated either the sheer hard work of all those involved in creating the thousands of slaves we now have access to and enjoy.
Thanks to all those who make it happen. |

both JST and WHDLoad were so useful.
I really enjoyed the fact of being able to set and run executables with JST. |
